1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The clinical benefits and practice patterns of different pharmacologic regimes in acute pediatric immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) remain unclear in Japan. Using a national inpatient database, we analyzed recent trends in practice patterns for acute pediatric ITP, and compared risks of 6-month readmission, total hospitalization costs, and lengths of hospital stay between ITP children treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and corticosteroid, using inverse probability weighting analyses. From 2010 to 2014, the proportions of IVIG use increased from 43.4 to 66.0% (P
